How we work

Norfund engages with partners who have defined projects and expertise within Norfund's priority regions and business areas.

Norfund has a long-term investment perspective and supports our investees in their efforts to become sustainable companies. As a responsible investor, Norfund's investment process is thorough and detailed. The investment process can be divided into four phases: from the identification of new projects, via due diligence to the eventual investment, active ownership and finally the exit.

Looking for experienced partners

As a minority investor, Norfund wants to collaborate with potential investment partners, both Norwegian and international. We continuously search for experienced partners that have the required capacity to succeed in creating sustainable businesses in one of Norfund's priority sectors and countries.
